Justice Tsimberis accepts the DoJ request to strike the Applicants Reply as it appeared to be AI generated and contained hallucinated case law. The Applicant was self represented but had a duty to 'self educate' and her explanation was shall we say less than sufficient in the eyes of the Court. Sinkova v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2026 FC 650 (CanLII), <canlii.ca/t/kl387>

Shoutout @Arsenal. Grew up on Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, Nicholas Anelka, Patrick Viera. Been a minute since following but always good to see your original team win!

Grateful to my client for bravely speaking out about this ongoing injustice for PGWP applicants. #cdnimm

My beautiful baby girl, look how far you’ve come. So many milestones in such a short time. They warned us it would be two steps forward and one step back, but look at you now shining brighter than ever. Your sweet face is full of color again, and that sparkle in your eyes says it all. It’s been 24 hours since your EVD was removed and 72 hours since they clamped it. We’re trending in the right direction after your cranioplasty. The incisions are healing beautifully. Even the neurosurgeons commented this morning on how wonderful you look and how impressed they are with your progress. At this rate, we should be heading back to the rehab facility this afternoon. And starting tomorrow, my Maya Bear can finally have her showers again ❤️ I believe in you with all my heart. Your strength is unmatched, and you continue to amaze me every single day. You’re already doing incredible things, and I know even greater ones are ahead. I love you so much, my beautiful girl. Forever proud of you, ❤️

Federal Court of Appeal rules that, when determining whether someone is criminally inadmissible to Canada, tribunals must consider defences recognized in Canadian law, including duress. The Court of Appeal further held that while protecting Canadians is important, so too is maintaining procedural fairness and Canada's humanitarian posture. As such, requiring tribunals to assess whether a non-citizen is in fact a serious criminal does not materially undermine public safety. decisions.fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/decisi…

Vancouver-born. Really sad news :(.

This breaks my heart.

Good reference for the reality security screening is not going away anytime soon and I expect it shifting even more so preventative and automated, unless fairness is built into legislative reform. #cdnimm #security

IRCC has updated its maintained status guidance. canada.ca/en/immigration…

A self-represented applicant received a visitor visa refusal citing failure to establish the intent of departure. Heron Law Offices challenged the decision through Federal Court judicial review, arguing the Officer's reasons lacked the transparency and justification required under Vavilov. Within months of filing, the application was re-opened and a multiple-entry TRV was granted. Well done Laura Schemitsch #JudicialReview #TRV #CanadianImmigration heronlaw.ca/success_storie…

Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board finalized 79,462 such claims last year, and it currently has 295,522 outstanding cases in the system awaiting a decision. At this rate, it would take more than three and a half years just to clear the backlog. thestar.com/news/canada/jo…
